DFS and FRS

A couple of questions:

1. How can you move the FRS-Staging folder to a different location
??? The FRS Staging folder keeps filling up and halting the NTFRS service
so it has to be moved to a location with more room.
2. How do you get users that use the links in a DFS Root to always
select the server closest to them (1 domain/site setup, 3 servers, 2 in 1
office and 1 cross country) ??? When selecting the DFS links, sometimes
user that are located cross country get pointed to the server that is 1000's
of miles away thus created a long distance haul for opening files. How can
this be solved so that the users are always connected to the local office
server ???

For example: User A profile is pathed to \\domain\DFS Root\Home\User A.
User A is located in New York. Occasionally when User A logs on, his pulls
his profile from the server in California. Is there a way to stop this from
happening besides directly pathing out the profile to the local server ???
This also goes for the other 15 replica sets between the 3 servers. I know
the OS randomly picks which server to go to based on load. But how to stop
it is the question...

Thanks for the input.
